Our approach

Right now, divers hand-catch urchins in the hope that they’ll be good to eat. In reality, only 1 in 5 urchins get the best prices. At Urchinomics, we provide the technology and market access to turn barren urchins into perfect urchins, and sell them at a premium to Japan.

Our licensed partners place barren urchins into our specially designed holding systems and feed them with our high-performance, 100% natural urchin feed. Within 8-12 weeks, these once inedible urchins are now ready to be enjoyed at high-end seafood restaurants around the world. Our Licensed partners profit. Kelp forests are restored. The marine ecosystem recovers. And the more this happens, the better we do as a business.
